[AT] HayWagon build up.

[Gene Dotson]

    I have a JD hay wagon with a 16 foot bed. Reach center to center opf 
front and rear axle is 10 feet and 6 inches. Rear overhand from back of rear 
axle is 36 inches. Front overhang from front of axle to front of bed is 30 
inches. Is a model 963 so is 8 ton rating. I have 3 of these wagons with one 
under hay wagon and 2 under 190 bushel gravity wagon beds.

    Number of wheel lugs will tell if it is a 6 or 8 ton rated. ^ ton has 5 
lugs and 8 ton have 6 lugs.

    Another inentifying feature is if the tie rod in in front or back of 
axle. Early models were to front.

                    Gene

I scored a free John Deere Haywagon. Not sure of the year but it looks old 
enough to put on my 430 V :-)

Two questions:

Does anyone know a way to ID these things? Other than a ghost of a John 
Deere decal and green paint  have no idea as to year or model.

Is there a certain convention to how far the the bed extends past the front 
and rear wheels ?  No one I know around here has wagons anymore or I would 
just go measure one.  Obviously it can't extend too far in front of the 
front wheels or it will interfere with steering, but it must extend some. 
Most wagons I have worked on the wheels are symmetrical under the bed so 
once I get a good dimension for the front 'll just use that for the rear.

The running gear is actually in good shape, but it has no bed. The running 
gear was adjusted as close together as possible for storage, so I have to 
pull it apart for a 16' bed I've sWn wood for and need to know how far to 
pull it apart.

Thanks!!!!
